Essex Steam Train & Riverboat is excited to introduce a new interactive holiday activity this year, the Visions of the Holidays art contest! Consisting of three divisions – adult, young adults aged 12-18, and youth aged 7-11 – artists of all ages will submit an illustrated holiday greeting card (front only) to be reviewed by a panel of judges.

Schools, art classes, groups and artists of all ages are encouraged to participate! Designs should speak to the theme ‘Visions of the Holidays’ and must meet the size, matting, and hanging criteria as outlined at essexsteamtrain.com/visions-of-the-holidays/. After first, second, and third place winners are announced in each category, all winning submissions and honorable mentions will be hung up in an exhibit at Essex Steam Train’s Oliver Jensen Gallery, where visitors will enjoy all throughout the holiday season.

For more information, please contact Pam at pamodio@essexsteamtrain.com or call 860.767.0103 for submission information. All entries should be submitted by 12/1/17 and be mailed to Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, attention: Pam Amodio, 1 Railroad Avenue, Essex, CT 06426.
